> Is there a document describing the architecture of a running system?
There is an architecture page: https://flynn.io/docs/architecture
Please let me know if anything specific is missing so that we can add it.
> Can I choose to dedicate a host to run a db, and at the same time run serveral mini-processes without launching every one in a container?
You can dedicate specific hosts to specific apps and process types using node tagging, though it looks like we are missing documentation for that. I'll make sure it gets added soon.
You are free to fork multiple processes inside of containers you deploy, there doesn't need to be a 1:1 mapping of container to process.
Thanks, that detail was what I was looking for.
I also wanted to understand the flexibility and options that Flynn offers to modify the running environment.
The Configuration and Limits sections of this page might be helpful: https://flynn.io/docs/apps
Let me know if there is something else specific that you are wondering about and I can answer here or get some more docs up.
The front that flynn exposes is pleasently simple, but I also want to know what implies every command and how it affect the running environment.
